Chimney repair in Fallowfield
In a let house, nobody is lighting a coal fire, but the chimney stack is still there catching wind and rain. On many Fallowfield properties those unused stacks are quietly deteriorating: mortar washing out, pots loosening and lead lifting. Our chimney repair in Fallowfield service tackles those problems before they become a safety issue or a source of damp in a tenant's room.
We repoint and rebuild brickwork, renew lead flashing, replace flaunching, cap redundant flues and fit cowls. Where a stack has no use at all, we can remove it and make good the roof.
Free quotes, full insurance and guaranteed workmanship on every job.

Chimney stacks in Fallowfield
Fallowfield's Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with large, shared chimney stacks, and many houses still have several pots on top. With so many properties now let to students, fireplaces have been boarded up and the flues forgotten. Uncapped flues let rain in, and sealed flues with no ventilation trap condensation, which often shows up as damp patches that tenants report as a roof leak.
We repair chimneys across M14, including Ladybarn, Rusholme, Withington, Moss Side and Levenshulme. Our Manchester office (M4) is only around 3 miles away, so Fallowfield is well inside our regular patch.
When to call about your chimney
Get the chimney checked if you notice damp on a chimney breast, loose or leaning pots, bits of brick or mortar in the gutter or yard, or the stack looking out of line. For landlords, it's also worth a look whenever other roof work is being done.
Call 0800 046 1159 and we'll inspect from safe access, explain the cause and give you a written quote. If the stack is unsafe, we'll make it secure first.
Chimney questions from Fallowfield landlords and owners
Is a crumbling chimney a safety issue for my tenants?
It can be. Loose bricks or pots can fall onto the roof, path or street. If you or your tenants notice debris from the stack, it's worth getting it inspected promptly. We'll make anything unsafe secure and then quote for a proper repair.
Should I cap or remove unused chimneys?
Capping with a ventilated cap is usually cheaper and keeps the stack in place. Removal takes away future maintenance but involves more work. If the house is in a conservation area, check with Manchester City Council before removing anything visible from the street.
Why is the chimney breast in a bedroom damp?
On boarded-up fireplaces, the common causes are rain getting into an uncapped flue, failed lead flashing, or condensation in a flue with no ventilation. We check the top of the stack and the flashing and recommend a fix for the actual cause.
Can you repair a chimney shared with the next house?
Yes. Many Fallowfield stacks are shared. We can work on your side or the whole stack. For bigger repairs, it usually makes sense for both owners to agree, and we're happy to explain what's needed to your neighbour or their agent.
Do you fit bird guards on chimneys?
Yes. Birds nesting in unused flues is common around older terraces. A mesh guard or cowl keeps them out while still allowing airflow, which helps prevent damp.
Can chimney work be done while the house is occupied?
Yes. Chimney repairs are carried out from outside. Tenants may hear some noise, and we'll need scaffolding or other access, but they can stay in the house throughout.
